We are excited to announce that ECOBALLIFE has been featured in the prestigious Spanish military journal, INFODEFENSA. The article, written by our esteemed partner AITEX, was presented by General García García de las Hijas, Head of the Army Logistics Support Command, at the 2024 2E+I FORUM in Toledo, Spain, on October 2. Following the presentation, several printed copies of the magazine were distributed among the attendees.

Key Highlights on pp. 90-91:

• ECOBALLIFE is a European research initiative funded by the European Defence Fund. The project commenced on September 1, 2023, and will run for 42 months.
• Consortium: Led by TECNALIA, the project involves 16 partners from 6 countries, including Spain, Finland, Czechia, Italy, France, and Portugal.
• Objectives: ECOBALLIFE aims to strengthen European defence capabilities and the competitiveness of the European defence industry by developing innovative materials and technologies that provide high levels of protection against a wide range of threats, thereby reducing the risk to soldiers’ physical integrity.
• Research Focus: The project focuses on new material concepts and technologies for personal and military platform protection against new threats such as blast overpressure, lasers, microwaves, and STANAG level 5-6. It also aims to optimize existing solutions to ensure their reliability throughout their lifecycle.
